EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and humorous hand-coloured etching, we are transported back to the 16th century, where Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Walter Raleigh take center stage. The scene captures a delightful moment of chivalry and respect as Sir Walter Raleigh gallantly throws his cloak over a puddle for the queen to walk on. Surrounded by onlookers, both male and female, the queen stands gracefully in her traditional costume while holding an umbrella to shield herself from the rain. With her ruff collar framing her regal face, she exudes power and authority. Sir Walter Raleigh kneels on the wet ground, showcasing his loyalty and devotion to his beloved queen. His character is portrayed with humor as he playfully throws his cloak over the muddy puddle. This act of kindness not only demonstrates good manners but also highlights their close relationship. The cartoon-like style adds a touch of light-heartedness to this historical moment. The vibrant colors bring life to each figure present in this procession scene. From courtiers to pageboys, everyone seems captivated by this display of chivalry. This print from "The Comic History of England" transports us back in time while reminding us that even powerful figures like Queen Elizabeth I appreciated acts of kindness and had a sense of humor.
